Description

The Cascade is a late 18th-century structure, with some rebuilding from the 20th century, located partly in Wentworth parish and built for the Wentworth estate. It is constructed of dressed sandstone and features a curved retaining wall with a lower central section. The abutment walls slope down and fan out in the downstream direction before returning into the bank. The ashlar copings overhang the curved section of the wall, and there are five stone posts that are designed to hold loose boards. This structure is an important part of the design of the parkland's lakes.

Local climate

The Cascade receives an average of 840 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 56% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 71% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 38 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 73% of listed buildings. Of these, 20 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
